'''Body Slam''' is a recurring skill in the {{DQSeries}} that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest IV}} as an enemy-exclusive ability before becoming a player-usable skill in later installments.

Upon use, it attempts to reduce both the user and target's {{HP}} by around 80%. Be wary of using this skill, as the player will still take damage even if they miss their target.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
It made its first appearance in this game, as a skill exclusively used by enemies. The skill is used by [[Bullfinch]], [[King slime]], [[Moosifer]], [[Perilwinkle]], and [[Chow Mein]]. Enemies will only use it when low on {{HP}}.

==={{DQ5}}===
Body Slam is learned by several monster companions such as the [[Rockbomb]]. As the skill shares the same resistance tag with [[Kamikazee]], only the [[Pink elephant]], [[Blizzybody]], [[Necromancer]], {{Hades' helm M}}, [[Hyperpyrexion]], [[Mandrake marauder]], [[Bomboulder]], [[Moosifer]], [[Balhib]], [[Archdemon]], [[Great dragon]], [[Deathsquad]], [[Mechan-o'-wyrm]], [[Barbatos]], [[Bilhaw]], [[Metal slime]]s, and boss {{MFamilies}}s have any resistance or immunity at all.

[[Terrorceratops]] and [[Bloodbonnet|Fire-eater]] use it only as enemies.

==={{DQ6}}===
Body Slam is learned by [[Kingsley]] at Level 10. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Merchant]] vocation. Body Slam now uses the same resistance tag as [[Whack]].

In the {{Super Famicom}} version the recoil damage is much less for human characters because all humans have an innate Whack resistance, giving the skill more utility. This oversight was corrected in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake.

It is used by the enemies [[Rotten cotton]], [[Darkcrawler]], [[Wayward armour]], [[Armoured wartoise]], [[Finned fatale]], and [[Dreadful drackal]].

==={{DQ7}}===
Body Slam has the same parameters as in the previous game and can be learned at rank 3 as a [[Sailor]] (rank 2 in the {{3DS}} version), rank 7 as a [[Jawtoise (vocation)|Jawtoise]] and [[Malevolantern (vocation)|Malevolantern]], rank 4 as a [[Seasaur (vocation)|Seasaur]], and rank 3 as a [[Platinum king jewel (vocation)|Platinum king jewel]]. [[Ruff]] has his own variation of the skill called [[Roar Deal]].
*{{Monster}}s have their own variation of the skill that simply deals 125% attack damage to a single character with no recoil. It can be used by [[Wooden horseman|Wooden horsemen]], [[Armoured wartoise]]s, [[Notso macho]]s, [[Splatterhorn]]s, [[Donkey xote]]s, [[Mucho macho]]s, [[Dragstar]]s, [[King cureslime]]s, [[Dragster]]s, [[Demon thunderer]]s, [[Metal king slime]]s, [[Hellstalker]]s, [[Deathcargot]]s, [[Barracuda]]s, [[Strangler fish]]es, [[Disastropod]]s, [[Perilwinkle]]s, [[King slime]], and [[Macho Picchu]].

==={{DQ8}}===
Body Slam can be used by [[Bullfinch]], [[Buffalo wing]], [[Notso macho]], and [[Iron rhino]]. The only Infamous Monster who can use it is [[Potbelly]].

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability is learned with 48 skill points invested into [[List of courage skills in Dragon Quest IX|Courage skill]]. It is very useful for Quests that require a character to be at low health, giving it some added functionality.

==={{DQ10}}===
Body Slam can be learned by investing 70 skill points into the [[Warrior]]'s Courage skill. This time, it has the added effect of being able to stun an enemy, as well as having an 80% chance of knocking them back by several meters. It costs 4 {{MP}} to use and deals 125% damage of a normal attack. It can also be used by various {{MFamilies}}s, including [[Barbatos]], [[Dragon slime]], and [[Drake slime]].

==={{DQ11}}===
Body Slam once again appears as an {{MFamilies}}s-only skill that can be used by [[Toady|Toadies]] and [[Moosifer]]s. It deals 110% damage to a single character and has no recoil effect.

==={{DQM}}===
Called Ramming in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 12 with 70 {{HP}} and 70 {{Agility}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Bullfinch|BullBird]], [[Mortamor|DeathMore]] (Transformed), [[Drackal|GulpBeast]], [[Komodo|MiniDrak]] and [[Feralball|PillowRat]].

==={{DQM2}}===
The requirements to learn Ramming are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[Beelzebuzz|Belzebub]], [[Boss troll|BossTroll]], [[Finned fatale|Digong]], [[Drygon]], [[King slime|KingSlime]], [[Petiteel]], [[Stainless scrapper|ProtoMech]], [[Frightbait|PutreFish]] and [[Rubble slime|RockSlime]].

==={{DQMJ}}===
Body Slam can be learned from:
*[[Berserker (skill)|Berserker]] (20 points)
*[[Champion (skill)|Champion]] (13 points)
*[[Fire Fighter]] (34 points)
*[[Martial Artist (skill)|Martial Artist]] (17 points)
*[[Martyr]] (18 points)
*[[Naturalist]] (15 points)
*[[Slimer]] (22 points)
*[[Toughie]] (20 points)

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Body Slam can no longer be learned from [[Champion (skill)|Champion]], and [[Berserker (skill)|Berserker]] now requires 13 points.
